Note: This version requires Authen::SASL. If you want to want to go
without, use version Net::POP3_auth 0.02.
Can someone please provide me with a SMTP account on a
maschine using DIGEST-MD5 or NTLM for testing?
--------
Abstract
--------
Net::POP3_auth is a small extension to G. Barr's Net::POP3
to authenticate to an POP3 server using one of the AUTH
methods APOP and SASL (Authen::SASL). This module can be expanded
and is a very first implementation.
------------
Requirements
------------
This module requires:
- Net::POP3 (should be obvious)
- MIME::Base64
- Digest::HMAC_MD5
- Authen::SASL
The requirements are encoded in Makefile.PL.
------------------
Basic Installation
------------------
Net::POP3_auth may be installed through the CPAN shell in the
usual CPAN shell manner. This typically is:
$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::POP3_auth'
You can also read this README from the CPAN shell:
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> readme Net::POP3_auth
And you can install the component from the CPAN prompt as well:
cpan> install Net::POP3_auth
-------------------
Manual Installation
-------------------
Net::POP3_auth can also be installed manually.
Download the package from:

Downloading and unpacking the distribution are left as exercises for
the reader. To build and test it:
perl Makefile.PL

When you're ready to install the component:
make install
It should now be ready to use.
